Show 4 THE GARLAND TIMES GARLAND UTAH UTAH BRIEFS DafUyEvening ELMO SCOTT WATSON iT LAST we are to have national floral emblem At leaat we shall have one If the wishes of the people made known as the result of a nationwide referendum are translated Into legists tlve action by congress For by a big majority the American people have chosen the wild rose as the national flower In a voting contest conducted by the American Nature association which closed recently When the ballots were counted It was found that out of a total of the wild rose bad polled 402811 votes almost twice as many as those recelyedbyJlie£y!umLluetlifi oiear- est contender So there seems to be no doubt as to the wild rose's In popular favor — — The -- columbinereceived 201451 votes which In turn was more than twice as ninny as those received by the runner-i- i — the violet which had 60408 Fourth place went to the wdth 81112 votes The "big four" In this contest simply run away from the other candidates For the phlox which enrly in the campaign was listed with the goldenrod as a received only strong contender votes The American Iteauty rose received 00482 the daisy 10800 the mountain laurel 130S2 nnd the dogA total wood 0024 of 82509 votes are listed aa "scattering" since they were cast for various other flowers Nature not named by the Amerlcun In announcing association the result of the election The wild rose won la every state ex rept Colorado Florida Minnesota and Without any group acWashington tively working for It with no "camIn any state and paign committee" with a number of organizations activeevly trying to defeat It It withstood earassault the lend gained upon ery The columbine ly In the campaign supported vigorously by the newly organized Columbine society during the had 2C1 last days of the referendum who threatened during 451 backers early December to sweep under the rose In a flood of votes When the closed however contest the leader was still gaining “IIow decisive was the choice of the people" says Arthur Newton Pack editor of Nature Magazine the official of tb American Nature publication association "Is Indicated by the standing bf the seven other leading candidates More than 65 per cent of th vote was divided between the two leaders and there Is no question of these being the national favorites The violet goldenrod American Beauty rose phlox daisy dogwood and mountain which finished in the orde laurel listed never had a chance of victory All the other flowers grouped under "scattering" received but 3 ’4 per cent of the total "The National Flower campaign was begun lnte In 1928 first to engender an Interest pnd love for wild flowers to promote their conservasecondly tion and thirdly to direct attention to nature generally" Mr Pack also points out the fact that this referendum accurately reflects the sentiment of the nation in the mntter of choosing a national votes cast flower since the million probably represent as large a proportion of nature lovers as do the totals In a Presidential election In representing the grand total of eligible voters lie regards It as significant that the vote cast for the leadproportionate ing candidates varied little after the 300000 ballot mark had been passed except in the last days of the cam- paign to crystallizing sentiaddition ment In favor of a national flower the rereferendum hgd other beneficial sults be believes Concerning these In be says: “The referendum has been eminently successfuL A large proportion of voted along citizenschool children ship lines suggested by the association In such a manner that there Is bo question of the benefit they derived A typical campaign is the one conducted by the Franklin Junior high school of Green Cay Wls where all the state flowers and candidates were Illustrated on the school bulletin board and discussion preceded the voting by a month who assisted the voting "Educators In more than a dozen states have asserted that the campaign baa fostered citizenship by giving the school 'children opportunity to vote In a national VIOLET event It also created knowledge of history and nature both of which had to be studied to arrive at an Intelligent opinion “While (he tracing of adult education Is much more difficult the association feels confident that the Interest expressed through the votes was not merely for the moment In more than statecommonwealths thirty wide campaign were conducted by local organizations The Garden Club of America the Daughters of the American Itevolutlon the General Fed eratlon of Women's Clubs the state nnd national of Camp organizations Fire Girls and Girl Scouts the Columbine society nature clubs and conservation over the scattered groups entire nntlon took a significant pan In achieving the result” In choosing the wild rose os our national symbol new honor has been paid to a flower which has nlways been a fuvorlte of mankind Two thousand years ago In Athens the rose was crowned "queen of the flowers" but even before that the romantic songs Perand legends of the Babylonians sians artd the Chinese testified to the fact that It was cultivated In the earliest days It beoume the national emblem of England and In the Fourteenth and Fifteenth centuries It gave Its name to a long series of civil wars the War of the Itoses between the adherents of the House of York who wore the white rose and those of tlve House of Lancaster who wore the red rose Eurly In the recent campaign opponents of the rose nsed ns an argument against It that It was the Fng llsh flower But this was refuted h the statement that that emblem Is the rose whereas the one for cultivated which votes were being sought was the wild rose which grows In different vn rletles In every state In the Union The campaign did not designate one particular variety of wild rose but left It possible for each community to feel that Its local representative of the genus was the choice of the coun- be noticed from the Rbovs Is the only state that Pennsylvania which does not have a state flower It was the Keystone Curiously enough state which led ult the others In the total number of votes cast In the recent referendum Pennsylvania's total was 111250 votes Ohio was second with 78048 New Y'ork third with and Wisconsin fourth with 59779 An analysis of vote by states In relation to state flowers reveals some teresting facts Since the columbine Is the state flower of Colorado It was natural to expect that Colorado should give more votes to that flower than to And It did although It any other gave only 707 more votes to the columbine thnn to the wild rose Fourteen other states gave more votes to the Colorado state flower than did that state Itself Washington supporting it more vigorously than any other with 35000 votes The votes bv states for the rose It will try For this renson the states of Georgia Iowa New York and North Dakota can take pride In the fact that their state emblem has been ehoen ns the national flower The list of state flowers Is as follows AUImum Arizona Arkonsoo Californio Colore do Connecticut Delaware Florida Georgia Idaho lUiooU Indiana Iowa Kaneaa Kentucky Louisiana Maine

American dogwood Rhododendron Violet the state flower of New Jersey Rhode Island and Yet both Illinois and New Wisconsin Jersey gave more votes to both the wild rose and the columbine thnn they Old to their own state flower Both Rhode Island and Wisconsin gave more votes to the wild rose than to the violet but both placed the columbine third In the running A similar situation Is shown In Nebraska and North Carolina where the goldenrod Is the state flower Bojh states voted for the wild rose over their state flower In Nebraska the goldenrod was second with the columbine third and the violet fourth But In North Carolina the state flower was placed third beating out only the violet Another Interesting development was the ftllure of the phlox a leading contender early In the campaign to make a good race for the honors especially when it apparently had so many points In Its favor one of Its strongest supporters was Dr Edgar The violet Is T Wherry a and botanist chemist government I
